Peru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic
Especially Adapted to the

The Oldest Man in America Attributes
His Long Life and Good
Health to Pe-ru-na.
Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan County,
Texas, has attained the great age of 114
years. He is an ardent friend or Peruna,
and speaks of it in the following terms.
Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world as
long as 1 have he ought to have found out
a great many things by experience. I think
1 nave done so.
"One of the things I have found out to
my entire satisfac~
tion is the proper

and my extreme old age to this remedy.
"It exactly meets all my requirements.
I have come to relv upon it almost entirely

valuable to old people, although I
hace no doubt it is just as good for the

A W man at 79.
Major Frank O'Mahoney, West Side,
Hannibal, Mo., writes;
"I am professionally a newspaper correspondent,
now 79 years old. I have watched
the growing power of the Peruna plant
from its incipiency in the little log cabin,
through its gradations of success up to its
present establishment in Columbus, Ohio,
and I conclude that merit brings its full
reward.
"Id to a few years ago I felt no need to
test its medicinal potency, but lately when
my system needed' it, your Peruna relieved
me of many catarrhal troubles. Some
two years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but
fell away down to 16? pounds, and besides
loss of flesh I was subject to stomach
troubles, indigestion, loss of appetite, in& ;
somnia. night sweats, and a foreboding of
getting my entire system out of order.
During some months I gave Peruna a fair
trial, and it rejuvenated mv whole system.
I feel thankful, therefore, for, although 79
years old. I feel like a young man."?Major
Frank O'Mahoney.

THE RICHEST FARM.
(t fs Only One Acre and Is Worth at
Least $288,000.
. Lying in the very heart of New
York's ultra fashionable district, between
West End avenue and Riverside
Drive, is the most valuable farm in
the world. It is only one acre, and it
is worth. $288,000.
A bit of history attaches to the sj^ofT
In 1863 it formed part of wh^f' was
known as the Broadway fiartftn. Here
was a famous recruiting station for the
government, withcJf*sort of camp and
barracks combined.
Ther_e-Was no hint then, in the GOs,
-of the marvelous rise in real estate
values which the district was destined
to experience. Broadway was the
thoroughfare north and south, dotted
with stores, summer gardens and residences,
but nobody fancied that the
j space between the highway and the
river would become a fashionable residence
district. The rocks were
seventy-five to 100 feet high in ridges,
separated by gullies, equally difficult
of grading. The solution came with
the transformation of the river bank
into Riverside Park.
Through it all this little farm changed
not, except in area. It still smiles
a green welcome toward the east. Its
sunflowers and field daisies have gazed
wonder eyed, at the majestic buildings
that have come to overlook them on
four sides. The tmy cottage looks
strangely out of place when compared
with the surrounding apartment
houses, but is still in harmony with the
clinging vines on the porch, the footpaths
leading through beds of onions
and beets, with the old plow resting
lazily beneath the tree, and with the
rows of waving corn. A wooden shed
contains many tools and an abandoned
wagon?for the farmer no longer
drives to market. The market comes
to him.---Detroit Free Press.

< What Frightened Kingdon? j
< ? >
A By John H. Raftery.
J?
vvvt7 vwy v vww
:
"This question cf courage or brav
cry," said Colonel Rumford, "is as
complex as it is interesting. Pride is
responsible for many displays cf gal
lantry; stupidity, I feel sure, accounts
for many a sullen defence; and I've
always noticed that the men most ner
vous and excited before going into
battle become seized with a sort ol
ecstasy in combat that is pretty sure
in time, to make heroes of them
Lieutenant Kingdon was, however, a
J different kind of man. He was no!
very vain, far from stupid, always cuoi
whether before, (luring or after a fight
?a perfect type, I think, of the Ameri
can officer risen from xhe ranks.
"He was acting adjutant of my regi
ment when we went down below the
Bagbag, having been just transferred
from the Eleventh. I must tell yon
that we were all badly fooled cn that
excursion, for the Filipinos made nc
show of defence till after we were
well into the jungle and had even
turned back toward our base. Wc had
to make a three-day halt 'at Arroyo
going down, and there we got very
friendly with Major Effingham, an Englishman
who had the best house in the
town and lived in it with his "wife, his
daughter and a nephew, who was
about 14 years old. Lieutenant Kingdon,
who was great fellow for the
girls, got a good deal of chaffing from
"AU ftf us about a pretty little brown
sweetheart he picked up at Arroyo,
and mere than once at Effingham's wc
drank to the health of the girl?"Zu
Zu," as we had nicknamed her. Kingdon
took it all good-naturedly, and. I
don't think he ever had a serious
thought about her.
"But coming back, as I told you, we
had an ugly time. A mob of pretty
well-armed Tagals had got in between
us and were making one cf their celebrated
bluffs at real warfare. They
did rouse all the natives, even the
rascals who had sworn themselves
'Amigo' about two weeks before, and
we got at least an excuse of a fight
at every village we came to. We
hadn't enough men to leave a garrison
any place, and the best we could
do was to drive off the natives as fast
as we met them. In this way we got
back to Arroyo wondering how the
Effinghams liked their surroundings,
and pretty sure that we'd get the best
fight of the expedition right there. We
weren't mistaken, either, for the rascals
had rallied in force, dug up some
breastworks and were occupying those
we had made during our temporary
visit. We weren't strong enough to
sweep them off the map, our ammunition
was running low, and, to tell the
truth, I began to suspect that at last
I was in lor a taste or sure enougn
war. We went to work a bit cautiously,
therefore, and fought our way closer,
for two days before we realized
that our only hope lay in a 'coup de
main,' as Effingham persisted in saying.
It was on the third day that we
got the only genuine response to our
advance, and then a very ugly thing
happened. The hottest firing came
from an old thatched shack, and three
or four of our fellows were dropped
before we knew it. Kingdon got tired
at last, and, thinking that he saw a human
target through a hole in the
thatch, he borrowed a rifle and emptied
a clip at the opening. Whether
his shooting?he certainly was a crackerjack?scared
the garrison I don't
know, but when we cleaned out that
shack there were seven dead Filipinos,
besides a woman?'Zu-Zu!'
"I think that must have hurt poor
Kingdon, for he didn't act like himself
after that; seemed to believe that he
had killed her, and began to mope a
bit. He looked after her burial, too,
and then seemed to liven up again.
We found Major Effingham all right,
and right glad he was to welcome us,
for he'd made up his mind to clear out
for civilization till the province was
finally pacified. We had been sitting
up quite late the night before we were
to resume the march?major was a
great hand for cold punch?and,
r o M'rt (rrvf follrin rr ? Vvnnl' +
owii-iLiw ^ 5^1 Laming auuut gilLTblo,
superstitions and some of the supernatural
things in which the natives firmly
believed. It was past midnight, and
the tropical moon was just setting,
when Miss Effingham, looking out the
window at a dismal little church set
in the midst of a graveyard across the
road, said: 'Mr. Kingdon, you may not
believe in ghosts, but I daresay you
wouldn't like now to go across into
that deserted church and fetch me,
say, a candle or a bunch of those flowers
from its altar. I'd like to carry
off a small memento of Arroyo and
of?of your courage.'
"Kingdon laughed merrily for the
first time since he buried Zu-Zu, and
started for the church. Except the
Effinghams the Vv kola town was empty,
for our men were strung in a belt of
sentries all around the village, and
the guard was at the lower end. So
we laughed as we watched Kingdon
run across the road, leap the low
fence and disappear into the gloomy
doorway of the church. We expected
him back within 10 minutes, but got
to chatting. In 20 minutes he had not
returned. In half an hour Miss
Effingham went to the door and listwed.
No sound but the far-off cry of
the sentries and the occasional howl
of a dog broke the stillness. Then I
became worried, summoned my orderly.

Major Effingham, followed Kingdon's

Major Effingham, who was quite superstitious,
and the women, who had im,t
bibed a lot of native folk-lore, were alt
heartbroken as well as terrified at
the horrible culmination of the harmless
prank.
3 "Well, a battalion of the Thirty-fifth
came to relieve us about daylight^ and
we made a forced march to headquarters,
carrying Lieut. Kiugdon's body
with us. Our surgeon was determined
3 on an autopsy, and I must say that it
seemed a necessary procedure under the
circumstances. I had a secret belief that
some Filipino, skulking in the empty
church, had in some way, by poisoned
s knife or the prick of an envenomed
pin killed Kingdom An examination of
the body, however, showed that there
was not a scratch, not the least abrasion
of any king, but there was a fresh
rent in the lieutenant's blouse, just
y near the hip seam on the left side. "He
would have died suddenly within a
month probably,' our surgeon assured
y me, 'for he had an acute affection of
* the heart. That tear in his blouse must
* have been made by a nail.'
"We went back to Arroyo and to the
church," concluded Colonel Rumford,
- "and sure enough, in the pillar of the
s sanctuary railing, a jagged, protruding
3 nail with some threads from Kingdon's '
- blouse explained the rent garment. In

: HOW. TIME IS MADE.
! Uncle Sam Regulates. His Clocks by
One of the Fixed Stars.
Strange as it- may seem Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for
; reckoning time, but lie turns his
[ attention to some of the regular,
L steady-going stars, or "fixed stars," as
they are ^called. Every clear night
} an astronomer with a big telescope
, looks at certain of these stars and
makes his calculation from which he
can tell just when the sun would
( cross the 75th meridian. One of the
, great clocks in the observatory is
tailed the transmitter, because it
, transmits or sends out the signal that
keeps standard time. This clock is
, set and regulated by the star-time,
and then every day at three minutes
, and fifteen seconds before twelve a
switch is turned on and the beats of
| the pendulum of this clock are sent
by electricity over the wires to the
| telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph operators
hear this sound on their instruments
they know that the noon sig- <
nal is about to be sent out and they
at once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities, un'
til in a minute or two the "tick, '
of the clock at Washington is heard
in hundreds of telegraph offices. The
beats stop at 10 seconds before 12 a3 '
a notice that the next "tick" will he '
1 the noon signal, and so as to give the
' operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and 1
clocks. There are time balls in a great 1
many cities?usually on top of some
prominent building, where they can
easily be seen. The one at "Washing- 1
ton is on the roof of the state, war and
navy department building, at the top (
of a high pole, ready to drop the instant
the signal comes over the wire.
In the government offices at Washing- '
ton and in many places in other cities
there are large clocks connected with 1
the observatory by electricity. These
1 are so arranged that when the 12
o'clock signal is flashed over the wires !
the hands of each one of these clocks 1
spring to 12, no matter what time the J
clock may show; in this way hundreds
of clocks are set to the correct tirno I
each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the 75th meridian, the
+oio?rrnnli insfrnmpnts give a single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks 1
begin to strike, and everybody in the
district knows it is 12 o'clock.?Clif,
ford Howard, in St. Nicholas.

A Potato Dinner.
A "potato dinner" was the unique
feast which one of Biddeford's charming
hostesses spread before her guests.
In the dining room four tables were
set and profusely adorned with autumn
leaves and vegetables. For a
centerpiece each table was supplied
with a large squash.' Around the base
red. yellow and green leaves extended
outward for fully 2 feet, and flanking
the sides was an artistic arrangement
of vegetables and fruits. The only illumination
in the room Whs furnished
by large caudles. Beside each plate
a large potato rested on an autumn
leaf. In the potato was a small hole,
into which the candle fitted. The
menu cards were dainty and as unique
as the" other details. They were in j
the shape of a potato, and each was 1
r.'.irOrrl in water colors. As souvenirs ;
of the party they were admirably ap- !
propriate. The dinner comprised j
many courses, and each ,one was |
marked by having some form of the
potato as its chief feature. There i
were soups, salads, croquettes, etc., in j
turn, but fine, new potatoes, just har- l
vested from the fertile soil of York
county, were employed in making
them.?Kennebec (Me.) Journal.

DUCKS FROZEN IN A POND.
Man in a Restaurant Tells His Friend
a Wonderful Tale.
"Every time it gets cold I want to
get out on the prairie and hunt
ducks," said a man to friend in a down
town restaurant last Sunday, when the
mercury danced about zero. "I went
duck hunting once and made a reputation
for myself that time, and for
the last ten years I've wanted to repeat
my old trip.
"I was visiting down in the corn
belt one December. The ducks that
year flew across the prairies by the
millions. Of course, most of them had
gone further south by that season of
the year, but hundreds of them still
remained. The prairies in those days
were dotted with small ponds, and
there was do end to the shooting season.
"I had been hunting several days
that December, and hod not made
much of a reputation for myself. I
bagged a few teals and on occasional
spike-tail, and at intervals I would
bring down a bigger one. Well, one
morning I awoke and it was as cold as
Greenland. I thought it "would be useless
to lnnk for winaed game that
da?, but I wanted to do a little rabbit
shooting. I got up and before breakfast
started out along the hedges and
found a couple of cotton tails. I suppose
I had walked about a mile from
the house when I heard a strange noise
out in one of the fields.
."I walked in that direction and soon
saw about a quarter of a mile away a
good-s.ized pond. I knew the racket
came from there, and I got over as
fast as my legs could carry me. If
I live to be 500 years old I'll never forget
the looks of that pond. It had
frozen over during the night and hundreds
of ducks were imprisoned by the
sheet of ice. When they tried to liy
as I came upon them the ice held
their legs fast. A few of them did get
away, but I got most of tliem. I didnN
fire a shot. I just walked out and
clubbed the birds to death. I co'.ilo
hardly step without crushing a duck.
When I got tired of clubbing them I
began pulling off their heads, and after
working for more than an hour I
had a pile of game that would fill a
big dump cart.
"It was the greatest hunt I ever had.
and I don't believe there is a man
in the State that ever bagged more
game in one day. 1 never counted the
birds, but I think 300 would be a very
safe estimate of.the number I killed.
"But those days have passed. The
ponEs have been drained, and the
praririe hunter who can now bag"half
a dozen ducks in an all day hunt considers
himself pretty lucky."?Chicago

A Vegetable Chair.
One of the most wonderful pieces of
furniture in the world is the vegetable
chair which came from Corea, and has
grown from a single seed, planted
twenty-six years ago. The seed was
that of a gingko tree. In fertile soil
and amid sunshine and rain the sped
grew into a vine, which the native gardener
set about to fashion by ingen
lous twistings, compressions, and
trainings into an arm chair.
Much pruning was necessary in order
to make the lower branches develop
In size and strength. The chair
was carefully formed, by tying the
young and pliable branches together
with strong fibre ropes, and as the tree
expanded the ropes held firm.
The chair we.ghs more than one
hundred pounds, and is even harder, j
sturdier and more imperishable than
oak. It is three feet four inches in
height, and twenty-five inches in
width, and some of the knots which
formed between the binding ropes are
twenty-one inches in circumference.
The bark has been removed, and the
surface, which-is golden brown in
color, has taken a fine polish, and in
spite of its look of lumpy antagonism
it is quite as comfortable as the con*
ventional factory made chair.
